I was looking forward to the races but Andy Forrest pointed out the following small print over on Facebook:

(c) be in possession of valid current Competition Race National ‘B’ Status Licence, as a minimum. Note; MSA General Regulation Q.9.1.2 – Any driver competing in a vehicle of 0.34bhp/kg or higher (excluding driver weight) and measured at the driven wheels must be the holder of a Race National ‘A’ licence, as a minimum.

So how many people in A or Pro have a national A, I would need a bunch of signatures, I havnt done the maths but suspect it might discount people in B as well, seems a strange ruling, anyone know the background?

Updated to day it's an MSA ruling...

Good point it was advertised as being cheap to avoid the cost of doing an ards?_________________Andrew

The 340 BHP per tonne is an MSA rule introduced this year. You've probably fallen foul of it already with your smrc debut. So if you want to keep racing you'll need to upgrade, or get a lower powered car._________________R600 Dubaru

If you have a Speed Nat A, which is what I have, you then do the ARDS test you still can't race if your car is over the 340bhp/t limit so how can you possibly upgrade unless you then have another car just so you can upgrade.
